hello hello hello and welcome to another video the first video of 2017 in fact so and I will bust about a month and a half too late but I'm looking all a very happy new year hope your mind to get out and get some stuff done and I hope that you're all doing well well I'm doing today it's a bit of a channel update keep you guys in the loop with what's going on and that's really important as my kind of personal outdoor sort of journey progressive actually the channel is going to change and I'm hoping this you are going to see a few more changes on the channel I'm going to quickly go through what those are to start with so I want to start documenting more and more of my trips out I've done a few of them it's quite hard to film it's quite a lot of effort but I think there's a lot of value in in creating videos like this especially since I am working with Brian and Charlie descriptively that we have planned are looking to get further and further afield is going to become literally spend more time outdoors making different kinds of trips different kinds of journey and I think it's really valuable to show this because on the channel obviously the heart of this channel is the tutorial while there's a very noisy trucks going fast what was I saying and the Heartless out is the bush craft skills and wilderness little short and the tutorials but I think those tutorials are kind of devalued if you guys don't get to see them being put into place so I think you know it's all well and good me having the tutorials but unless I can prove that it's being used i could be just telling you anything and and also i find i started watching a lot of people strips and journeying i find them really inspiring and then what under give me the kind of motivation to get up and go and plan different things that's something that we're going to be hopefully seeing a little bit more of your drawing this year so i'm finally have it ever reached hook through the tunnel i'm hoping to upload between two and three videos per week that will change from week to week so hopefully to a week and then occasionally three a week and what doesn't sleep will be a tutorial or an informative video some kit reviews and other really popular talk MKT reviews in a moment and then Adam when they've been filmed and put together the video diaries of our Twitter and journeys so the kit reviews I'm recent in you doing them and I'm not a big fan of kit kit just doesn't interest me that much but I think it's valuable to people watching this so have a look at it the scene use regular I'm really lucky I work in the outdoors i teach outdoor store so i get to use this stuff day in day out and if it means rubbish i can tell you it's all because i think it's really good like i can tell you that it's sort of wise good and with people buying stuff online these days it's kind of the next best thing to going into a shop and having a look at them in trying sat night yourselves and we continue with the kit reviews the very very popular and i think they are useful to you tutorials i really want to do more tutorials i have been on quite a lot of courses recently learned some new stuff I'm going on some more courses i'm gonna be learning some new stuff and the trickiest thing with the tutorials in it's just coming up with the ideas of subsidy like what do people want to see and our people are so cooking some we're trying do some more cooking videos of quite involved filming the cooking videos alone like to do them but i will get round to doing some people talk about more about plant and three ID so i'll do some more than but if anything that you guys want to see leave me a comment in this video is anything you want to learn even if i can't do it I in the you know perfect point in life where I can spend time learning the skill and then pass over that knowledge to you guys like I said I work in the outdoors I'm outdoors every single day and I quite often have time to sit down and learn something new was if you're working like a sort of normal nine-to-five job you might not have that time so yeah bit of a Rambler I thought know what days I'm going to be uploading the videos i'm kind of thinking maybe on monday or tuesday for a tutorial video Thursday for the adventure videos and maybe like a friday for the kit reviews other than one dawn leave that one with me next few months ago be pretty busy getting this book to into place is going to take me a while because i need to kind of develop a backlog of videos and it takes a lot of time to to get out and do this ok so what else would i want to source well and more journeys I've talked about why i want the wacky more important because it adds value to the soil and you gotta get Percy stuff working and better quality videos I have discovered that i absolutely love making these videos I'm not the professional cameraman I am NOT a professional photographer but i really enjoy putting the video together it's become as a real part of my outdoor life I know it's not bushcraft but it's just something that I enjoy doing in the outdoors while some kind of doing bushcraft at the bushcraft again a blur for me to do the outdoor so that i think i'm going to realize again going back to the journey the bushcraft stills are all well and good but there is no point in learning them unless you actually put that sauce into practice and it starts being put into practice when you go out and you start making these journeys I'm heavily polling quoting them for currently here but but on with them with what you said we did a canoe trip within on the river spey late last year it was already stood and kind of open my eyes for a lot of things as a new way of doing something amazingly clear or donuts the site's away so yeah I want to put together better quality videos I enjoy doing it but it takes an awful lot of time for example this video of me just sitting here talking to you guys by the time it's filmed edited uploaded I thought the found out I've got it on to you to share it around a little bit isn't exactly the best part of an entire day what to do this so this video will go up tomorrow after I spent all of tonight's working on it a lot of effort goes into this so this brings you kind of on to my next point it's about how you guys can help me how you can help me develop the channel and comment and light comments importantly and love getting comments because comments it's really good to get those that individual feedback from everyone I get a lot of trolls I just acknowledge halls and is not worth the time that they're just full roll on by don't even bother delete in the comments not worth yes but the majority of the comments that I get I read every single one I take everything on board into something like really important to men tonight making note of it I've got a notebook of things to develop the channel and I don't reply to everything because I'm now coming up to sixteen thousand subscribers and some of the videos for some reason really popular and I literally get hundreds and hundreds of comments today I cannot reply to every single one I will do my best like I reply to every single one also the way that the youtube thing works when it's sending a notification like sometimes like I can't find the comment that's been posted so i can see a notification i can't see it and then it comes to be late for really confusing anyway so if you want to help me please share my videos comment is important but showing the still showing this was really important because it allows me to kind of broaden my viewer base which is really really important social media is amazing bushcraft and outdoors is a massive vast subject so the more people looking at stuff and interacting with it helps things to develop it helps mine order to develop it means that i can put new stuff together for you guys and but because if he's something else sharing it it allows it to kind of reach outside of my own little social right on my social circle and into others please share the stuff around that is really really valuable to me what else did I have to say about helping me out oh yeah that was the other thing okay and i wasn't sure what I wanted to ask about this because i feel kind of kinky and look your account putting these videos together takes an awful lot of time and i'm awful lot of effort and don't get me wrong i do enjoy doing it and I like the feedback that you guys give to me the other thing it takes if it costs me a lot of money to put these videos together well not matter amounts of money but you know I don't get paid a great deal and it cost me quite a bit of money like even things like the microphone like every time I run out of light little sticky for these things that's like eight quid I have to that's eight pounds i have to pay just to be able to record good quality sound see you guys all i've done is i've set up a patreon page i will link the patreon page in the bottom of this video and maybe i'll try and put a card in up here if that's going to work and if you don't want to donate any money to my patreon I've absolutely fine I understand that everyone is just as far as I am but if you do there's like I said I've got like promote 16,000 people if every single person donated like one dollar or one pounds I'd be making some pretty good videos and the page the patreon page it needs some work I just kind of threw it together one night while I was kind of playing with the idea of it and I'm going to do I'm going to do like ruffle kick giveaways people be mentioned in the credit for the video as patrons idea if you've got a child yourself and you become a patron I'll you know I'll do proper shout out and make videos and stuff and you know make it worth your while but having just that little bit of extra kind of funding for the channel light it's not going to go to me it's going to go to this channel if anyone decides to donate just allows me to kind of a little bit more breathing space when it comes to making the videos and sitting down and sort of planning them cuz sometimes I have to take a day off work well I have to use up my holiday time for work just to edit the video and believe me if people think that we get really rich making these YouTube videos or making tons of money we don't you don't you make a bit of money but you don't make a massive amount of money you have to be like in the millions and millions of subscribers to make money on YouTube I'm not in this for the money I'm doing it because I am in a unique position with my work and social life that I can learn these skills and pass them on to you so that you can learn them quicker than i was able please like to do the legwork and then you get the guilty of it hope that makes sense anyway so if you wanna support me on patreon please do please just ignore the state of the page at the minute late it's not in a great way I'm going to fix it this week whenever I get a chance thank you all for the support on this channel I went on to my time hop this morning and two years ago I just reached 3,000 subscribers and it was and it took me a long time to get there and now things are really increasing so things look for top forward to in 2017 a really quick recap sets of videos more videos the only videos kit reviews tutorials thank you all for watching please like share subscribe comment please support me on patreon if you feel like you want to and I will see you all in the next video which will be almost directly after this one which will be my photography trip to the lake district with the outdoor life of brian goodbye people
